Loan signing Shaun Donnellan, who made his Saddlers debut last weekend. has revealed that strong words from Jon Whitney sparked the side's second-half revival.

Recent loan arrival Shaun Donnellan has spoken to the local press following his debut during last weekend's League One victory over Oldham Athletic, and has revealed that manager Jon Whitney inspired the team to bounce back from being a goal down at the break to secure all three points late in the second half.

Shaun, who was speaking to Express & Star reporter Joseph Masi, said; "The gaffer told us some home truths at half-time. He got into us and got that reaction out of us. Second half we had so many chances. We dominated and that’s how we’ve got to play. It was a desire thing and we played with more tempo.

"It was the first home game of the season and in the first half we were a bit nervous and apprehensive. But second half, we got our second wind. We dominated and absolutely destroyed them."
